Oh c'mon, you gotta realize that the charm of this movie is how innocent and childish it is. The Rhino was probably just what his Aunts told him, and he didn't actually see them die so he believed them, the rest is basically him imagining a wondrous escape from crappy guardians

I have never actually read the book, and maybe I should've. But I always thought his parents died in a more reasonable way, like a car crash or a fire, and the Aunts made up the rhino just so they could play the boogieman card whenever they wanted to get under his skin. Why a rhino? I never had any clue. Admittedly, this was a movie I didn't question as much as most others.

(*warning!!!! This is me rambling! Feel free to ignore!*) Honestly (having read almost all the Roald Dahl books) the book is definitely a bit mad, but It EXPLAINS the Dino! here's a quote (it's still strange but at least it explains it the best anyone really could!) "one day, James's mother and father went to London to do some shopping, and there a terrible thing happened. Both of them suddenly got eaten up (in full daylight, mind you, and in a crowded street) by a enormous angry rhinoceros which had escaped from London zoo" (I personally have never gone to London zoo but rhinos seem like a strange thing to have?). I feel as though alot of movies based on Dahl's books couldn't do the best job because the writing had funny bits in that, without the narrator, they couldn't get across very well. But I must say something… This one seems to be following the story well! I just think that a few read throughs could have helped the writers and heck of a lot! But hey! Roald Dahl's books were known to be a bit weird but I feel like that was the charm!

"My name is James" song. When he refers to his name, he's referring to his identity. He's forgetting who he was as a person and losing his self-confidence. Who his parents raised him to be. But the lyrics are boring.
